Conclusion of "The Maker of Heaven and Earth by His Power

That is just one aspect of our atmosphere, a complex mix of gases ideally suited to supporting the creatures living on or near the earth's surface. Among wonders of the atmosphere is the water cycle. Every year the sun lifts up by evaporation over 100,000 cubic miles of water from the earth's oceans and seas.  The water forms clouds, which are circulated far and wide by atmospheric winds. This water now filtered and purified, falls as rain, snow, and ice, replenishing water supplies. It is just as Ecclesiastes 1:7 says:  "All the winter torrents are going forth to the sea, yet the sea itself is not full.  To the place where the winter torrents are going forth, there they are returning so as to go forth."  Only Jehovah could set such a cycle in motion. 

Wherever we see life, we see evidence of the Creator's power.  From the mighty redwoods that tower higher than 30-story buildings to the microscopic plant life that  teems in the oceans and provides much of the oxygen we breathe, Jehovah's creative power is evident.  The very soil is packed with living things-worms, fungi, and microbes grow. Fittingly, the Bible speaks of the soil as having power. -Genesis 4:12. 

Without a doubt, Jehovah is "the Maker of the earth by his power."  (Jeremiah 10:12)  God's power is evident even in his smallest creations.  For instance, a million atoms laid side by side would not span the thickness of a human hair. And even if an atom were expanded until it was as tall as a 14-story building, it nucleus would be the size of a mere grain of salt located on the seventh floor. Yet, that infinitesimal  nucleus is the source of the awesome power unleashed in a nuclear explosion!
